Fitting in Skipton and nearby
Skipton is about 38 miles from York, the main centre for North Yorkshire. We can survey and fit across the BD23 district and in nearby places such as Keighley and Colne.
North Yorkshire runs from York's walled historic centre and Harrogate's Victorian stone to Teesside's terraces and the Dales' stone villages.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Rear windows facing alleys and gardens
- Flats with windows onto shared walkways
- Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing
- Offices and shops with side or rear windows
Things to decide before you order
Colour
White disappears against white frames, while black or anthracite suits darker frames and period sash windows.
Retractable, fixed or removable
Match the grille to how often the window opens. Daily-use windows suit retractable; never-opened windows suit fixed; occasional windows suit removable.
Rules that apply in England
Grilles in rented homes
Landlords in England must keep rented homes free from serious hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, which includes fire. A grille that stops a tenant using an escape window can create a hazard, so grilles in rented homes should have keyless internal releases.
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission, because it does not materially change how the building looks from outside. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Window security grilles in Skipton: questions
Do you cover Keighley as well as Skipton?
Yes. As well as Skipton, we can arrange surveys in nearby Keighley, Colne and Nelson, and elsewhere in North Yorkshire.
Do grilles work on bay windows?
Yes. A bay is usually treated as separate grilles for each face, or one grille following the bay on a curved or angled track.
Will a grille damage my window frame?
No. Grilles fix to the wall reveal or a subframe, not to the window itself, so the frame and its warranty are unaffected.
Can I still open the window with a grille fitted?
With a retractable or removable grille, yes. Many fixed internal grilles also leave room to open the sash or casement behind them.
